[Bug/Problem] Fix this broken gameplay
This "FOOTBALL" game has nothing to do with football.

Update after Weekend League (8 wins):
- The tempo ratio between defenders and attackers is clearly broken.
Defenders are faster than the fastest attackers, regardless of the value of the card - Collision model/physics
- is completely broken, here too defenders are fundamentally too strong regardless of the values on the card
- The difference between women and men is also exaggerated, even though the women's card has 80+ strength
- After collisions between 2 players, it is not possible to change players and you have to hope that your own player "recovers" quickly enough to defend a resulting counterattack
- is completely broken, here too defenders are fundamentally too strong regardless of the values on the card
- The interception range of CPU-controlled players is too large --> It is simply not possible to play a simple pass through a sufficiently large gap (despite the pass playstyle)
- Also the reactions and blockings of CPU-controlled players is worlds too fast
- referees
- constantly wrong decisions, whether offside, foul, penalty free kicks or advantage
- Likewise, the game is sometimes whistled in the middle of the attack in the penalty area
- goalkeepers
- manual goalkeeper movement ist absolutly exaggerated and unfair
- goalkeepers with the role "Libero ++" are unable to hold the simplest balls (in my case Ter Stegen)
- movement of the defense lines is too fast in combination with low depth setting (seems that the depth setting is the reason for this behavior)
- the same applies to the offside trap
- Skill moves
- are either not executed or are too slow and are currently absolutely unusable
- Just like every CPU-controlled player knows perfectly well how he can intercept the ball from the skill move movement
- craziness
- L1 Sprint Boost is absolutely ridiculous
- rebound goals --> The way and frequency in which goals are scored from rebounds is simply unacceptable (And that doesn't even include the balls blocked by goalkeepers)
@EA
This post is not meant in a bad way, but the game is unreasonable in its current state and I just want to help make it more playable again.
- @CodeZeroProject It's not just the defenders, it's forwards. I just played a guy who was using Dembele as his defensive player. He just literally charging in from every angle putting in Maldini esq tackles. Combine the fact these forwards (Especially A.I. controlled ones) can tackle like DM's with the 85+ pace they have and the press is a headache to play against.
This why if you successfully block a ball in the box, you get no time to clear it because these forwards just start throwing wild tackles in from every angle and there's nothing protecting the ball carrier.I also want to bring the fact there is a serious problem with Clashing kits this year.
It constantly pairs white vs white or black vs black in game. Sure I can make select my opponent to using my other kit but in the last year game I just happened to forget and got punished for it.
I'm sitting on 6 wins with 3 remaining, and this a brutal experience.
*** If you try to play a passing game, your cooked, you have to hit quick through balls non stop and hope for the best.
*** Low block is borderline impossible to break down because the defense is way more dynamic than the attack, matter of fact these player roles barely even work.
***High pressure on the backline is just as horrible as last year, I'm back to flinging balls from fullback to fullback hoping to open up some space. These so many things that work against you as well like for instance if the ball happens to graze a defender on the backside it will fly straight to an open attacker 99% of the time. There entire frontline will mark, out muscle, out tackle your backline.
**** EA desperately needs to put some consequences in for sloppy tackling. You currently get no time to assess where you will pass because the defense is just relentless.
**** I look at the goals I'm scoring & conceding, it seems to me you're extremely limited in attacking options. Try chipping the ball over the defense the ball flies straight a defender, try hitting a quick break & putting a cross in the ball flies straight a gliding defender. Just about every goal I've conceded is a run of the mill "Defensive" style goal where an attacker will charge into my defender, he'll freeze, one quick pass, goal or put a tackle in, ball bobbles, attacker regains ball somehow, quick pass, goal. Which is why high pressure on the backline is so effective.
****Rebounds, I won't be sprinting I'll have an opportunity to intercept the ball and the ball will fly off my defenders feet straight to an attacker like 10 yards. It's like there trying to control a baloon.
Even worse is when my defensive A.I. will attempt an interception and somehow square the ball space where an attacker is waiting which happens alot. The First Touch system destroys this game.
